In college there was a debate that #GeorgeOrwell 's #AnimalFarm was either a fantasy book or a science fiction book---but I had to remind them of the elements of #horror in it too. Now I am convinced it's ALL horror - #Trump #stephenmiller #fascism #FuckICE

Never before in the history of our country have you needed to read a book like #WAKEUPandOPENYOUREYES by @claymcleod.bsky.social With LA being turned into a third world country of fascist #trumpism, this is a #horror book that reminds how #foxNews got us here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZzq...

We just got an email from Publisher's Weekly telling us that it will now cost $25 per submission to submit our authors' books for review by PW. That's bullshit. #writingcommunity

My story about an aging cyberpunk adapting to a solarpunk world is now up at @escapepod.org! It originally appeared in @press-android.bsky.social's Fighting for the Future anthology. You can read it or listen to it at escapepod.org/2025/03/06/e...

Congrats to our authors whose works made the BSFA Awards longlist! @akotowaa.bsky.social THE YEAR OF RETURN and @eoindooley.bsky.social NO SYMPATHY for Best Shorter Fiction, and @renanbernardo.com DIFFERENT KINDS OF DEFIANCE for Best Collection. BSFA members can vote for 4 works in each category!

YES! Totally agree. Blurb solicitation is more about friend and network circles than helping people find truly good books. We've seen outstanding books get few to no blurbs cause the author wasn't well connected. And we're pretty convinced that, generally speaking, blurbs don't really sell books.

As that AI vanity press has been grabbling all the attention, let's platform some awesome small and independent presses instead. Reply with a shoutout and link to a publisher that deserves celebrating. Obviously, I'm going to get the ball rolling with @starsandsabers.bsky.social. Now, over to you.

On our website annual subscriptions to Solarpunk Mag are on sale for 33% off through tomorrow, only $20! If you'd rather pay monthly instead, then subscribe via our Patreon and get bonus content too (see the linktree in our bio for Patreon link). #solarpunk #solarpunkmagazine #demandutopia

Sting is one of my fave artists & this song lit my brain up with the image of a thief climbing to a mysterious woman. Now, @press-android.bsky.social is publishing THE UNBEARABLE TASTE OF FRUIT & WINE, the novella it inspired & it's up for pre-orders! shorturl.at/nTs1z shorturl.at/LRC0y
